Overnight Breakfast-in-a-Jar

These individual breakfast jars have become a regular in our morning meal rotation. I thought it was about time I posted them (I first saw the recipes here). The basic ingredients stay the same, and then you can experiment and try whatever other add-ins you like! We've enjoyed banana/chocolate (pictured above), maple/blueberry, and apple/cinnamon. As you can tell, my jars are not uniform and I play with the ingredient amounts to make a bit more in one jar for my son. It's always worked out. This is personally not my favorite breakfast. I don't mind a cold oatmeal, but the texture is just a bit too mushy for my taste. Thankfully, the rest of my family loves their breakfast-in-a-jar, so I keep 'em comin'!

In a glass jar or container with fitted lid, add oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, and any other add-ins but NOT the actual fruit. Put lid on jar and shake well until combined. Add fruit and stir gently until mixed in. Seal jars with lids and refrigerate overnight, up to two days. Eat straight from the fridge.

I am the wife of an amazing man, mother of three precious children, and enjoy filling our home with good food for all to enjoy! I love trying new recipes and am especially excited when I find something packed with whole foods that everyone loves. I try to be aware of the nutritional value of what we eat, but won't shy away from a good dessert every now and then. I hope you enjoy this site and find a few new things to try out for yourself.
